2.7 NETWORK AND DEVICE NAMING CONVENTION

A. Network Numbers

1. BACnet network numbers shall be based on a "faci lity code, network" concept. The "facility code" is the VAMC’s or VA ca mpus’ assigned numeric value assigned to a specific facility or bu ilding. The

"network" typically corresponds to a "floor" or oth er logical configuration within the building. BACnet allows 65 535 network numbers per BACnet internet work.

2. The network numbers are thus formed as follows: "Net #" = "FFFNN" where:

a. FFF = Facility code (see below)

b. NN = 00-99 This allows up to 100 networks per fa cility or building

B. Device Instances

1. BACnet allows 4194305 unique device instances pe r BACnet internet work. Using Agency's unique device instances are fo rmed as follows:

"Dev #" = "FFFNNDD" where

a. FFF and N are as above and

b. DD = 00-99, this allows up to 100 devices per ne twork.

2. Note Special cases, where the network architectu re of limiting device numbering to DD causes excessive subnet work s. The device number can be expanded to DDD and the network numbe r N can become a single digit. In NO case shall the network number N and the device number D exceed 4 digits.

3. Facility code assignments:

23 09 23 - 24

4. 000-400 Building/facility number

5. Note that some facilities have a facility code w ith an alphabetic suffix to denote wings, related structures, etc. Th e suffix will be ignored. Network numbers for facility codes above 4 00 will be assigned in the range 000-399.

C. Device Names

1. Name the control devices based on facility name, location within a facility, the system or systems that the device mon itors and/or controls, or the area served. The intent of the dev ice naming is to be easily recognized. Names can be up to 254 charac ters in length, without embedded spaces. Provide the shortest descr iptive, but unambiguous, name. For example, in building #123 pr efix the number with a “B” followed by the building number, if ther e is only one chilled water pump "CHWP-1", a valid name would be "B123.CHWP.

1.STARTSTOP". If there are two pumps designated "CH WP-1", one in a basement mechanical room (Room 0001) and one in a p enthouse mechanical room (Room PH01), the names could be "B1 23.R0001.CHWP.1.

STARTSTOP" or "B123.RPH01.CHWP.1.STARTSTOP". In the case of unitary controllers, for example a VAV box controller, a na me might be

"B123.R101.VAV". These names should be used for the value of the

"Object_Name" property of the BACnet Device objects of the controllers involved so that the BACnet name and th e EMCS name are the same.

2.8 BACNET DEVICES

A. All BACnet Devices – controllers, gateways, rout ers, actuators and sensors shall conform to BACnet Device Profiles and shall be BACnet

Testing Laboratories (BTL) -Listed as conforming to those Device
